Emergency Maintenance

Plumbing Problems

If any type of water problem occurs during normal working hours (8:00am-4:00pm Monday-Friday), the shop personnel will be contacted immediately. The type of problem reported and its location will be given. Should a problem occur after normal working hours, a campus safety officer will respond to the location.

Water Leaks

First, locate the source of the water leak and turn off the valve controlling it. If the problem is severe, the boiler room personnel must be contacted. Officers must exercise caution and be swift to respond to water leaks involving electrical and computer equipment.

Steam Leaks

By their very nature steam leaks are potentially dangerous. During normal operating hours contact the boiler room or shop. After hours contact Campus Safety.
